Ali Akbar Natiq
chandi vale, shishe vale, ankhon vaale shahr men
kho gaya ik shaḳhs mujh se, dekhe-bhale shahr men
mandiron ke sehn men sadiyon purani ghanTiyan
deviyon ke husn ke kohna havale shahr men
sard raton ki hava men uḌte patton ke masil
kaun tere shab-navardon ko sambhale shahr men
kanch ki shaḳhon pe laTke teri vahshat ke samar
teri vahshat ke samar bhi ham ne paale shahr men
dil ke reshon se rida-e-nur bunte miT ga.e
shab ki faslon men nahin asan ujale shahr men
